in

of
programs
designed
to
stimulate

at

Tuesday
night
%vhen
Doctor
Max
Habicht,
eminent
Swiss
authority'
on
international
law,
addressed
his
audience
on
"The
Nations
Co-operating
in
Wartime."
i
Doctor
Habicht
has
a
league
of
nations
background.
From
a
point
of
vantage
he
could
and
^did
observe
its
impotence
as
an
agency
set
up
for
the
high
purpose
of
preventing
war.
Its
fundamental
deficiencies,
from
his
point
of
view,
were
twofold:
N
First,
tts
decisions
had
to
lie
based
on
a
unanimous
vote.
For
example,
when
Japan
bombed
Manchuria,
Japan
had
only
to
vote
"No"'to
preclude
punitive
action
by
the
league-
on
obvious
absurdity.
Second,
there
was
no
agency
for
enforcing
leatrne
decisions
even
U
such
decisions
could
.
be
reached.
In
short,
there
was
no
semblance
of
an
international
police
force
to
deal
with
brigand
nations.

HIS
briefly

of

Â·*Â·
of

to

in
this
war,
Doctor
Habicht
naturally
places
first
emphasis
on
remedying
these
obvious
Â·
shortcomings
in
the
league
that
was..
Like
many
other
thinkers
on
the
subject
of
guaranteeing
world
order,
Doctor
Habicht
is
impressed
by.
the
possibility
of
following
the
American
pattern
in
the
days
when
the
colonies
agreed
to
surrender
a
certain
amount
of
sovereignty
in
the
interest
of
creating
a
federal
union.
.
He
frankly
recognized
that
there
would
be
some
cost
attaching
to
this
process
of
creating
a
world
order--a
cost
in
world
sovereignty
and,
'
for
this
country,
a
cost
in
helping
feed
and
police
the
world.
This
cost,
however,
he
insisted
on
weighing
against
the
far
greater
cost
of
recurring
wars.

Bui
Tuesday

the

to
his

dreaming.
It

come
to.
grips
NOW
with
this
kU-important
matter
of
choosing
the
road
most
likely
to
lead
to
a
lasting
peace.
An
open
mind--a
mind
cleared
of
past
assumptions
and
prejudices--is
the
first
requisite.
Those
responsible
for
this
series
of
thought-
provocative
addresses
are
deserving,
we
think,
of
the
community's
heartiest
gratitude.
In
pointing
to
the
things
which
are
wrong
about
the
war
effort,
newspapers
ought
in
fairness
to
draw
attention
at
least
incidentally
to
the
fact
that
there
is
much
more
that
is
right
about
the
war
effort.

If
humans

the

Â·Â«-'
work
in
South
America,
that
continent
has
been
neglected
of
late
in
favor
of
the
active
war
zones.
This
makes
John
Lear's
"Forgotten
Front"
important,
and
more.
Mr.
Lear
was
for
some
years
a
member
of
the
Associated
Press
staff
although
now
he
is
in
Puerto
Rico
as
one
of
Governor
Tugwell's
en-
lourage.
And
while
Lear
was
with
the
Associated
Press
he
was
given
one
of
those
coveted
rovin"
assignments;
ho'
says
that
Kent
Cooper
the
"en-
eral
manager,
asked
him
to
find
out
how
the
Latin
Americans
felt
about
us.
If
you
k/iew
Lear
you
would
understand
that
he
not
only
would
carry
out
this
project,
'but
would
discover
the
reasons
that
made
them
feel
that
way,
plus
a
mass
of
related
and
useful
information.

Ostensibly,
"Forgotten

is
the
story
of
a
round-trip
flight

Lima
to-Iquitos,
a
Peruvian
town
across
the
Andes
and
much
closer"
to
the
Amazon
country
than
to
Peru
itself.
The
fiight
was
made
in
a
patched
up
transport
plane
which
probably
should
not
have
been
flown
at

On

with

and

that

is
going

be
the
scene

a

fatal,

His

prompted
by
the
practice
